The Sunday School of the Preshyter-
ian Church in charge Of superintendent
W. 0. Nicklas, and the pastor, Rev. FIN.
Woods, with large attendance of the
congregation, spent very pleasant and
agreeable day at Island Park, Tuesday
last. 1t was blue stocking, you know,
and cold dinner, but oh ! my, there
| were lots and lots Of nice things, sul1i-
Gent to make famished editor weep
for Joy. Like good many other people,
the editor knows just about the right
time of the year to belong TO the Sun day
School. We ran great risk, this time,
for there was present a hungry ex-Judge
school teacher, just finishing three
long months vacation without pay, a
dealer in grain, with capacious bin,
bemoaning short crops and several mer-
chants intent on getting square meal, 10
meet the cut on cost Of goods reduced by
duh times. The grain dealer and the ped
agogue tried to get ahead on ''scratch,"
but we cut our swath ard kept even every
time.
